Does anyone remember the S10/S15 ad from the early '90s that featured an S10 driver confidently hooking his truck to a broken Semi with a tow strap? I cn't find the ad now. It stuck with me because I worked at a dealer then and we were doing things like replacing S10 axles and transmissions destroyed by towing campers. At least GM was kind enough to add a disclaimer to the S10 commercial.

A bunch of fine old GMC commercial trucks in this 1959 TV series called "Cannonball."

Not "vintage" but "doing" what they did in style.

Yes, most likely. That matches stories from west coast family members that worked in logging industry for years. OT vehicles, but definitely good examples.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Sugar beet farmers are another group known to load trucks heavy. For years they'd get a stock truck and add a tag or tandem axle and an auxilliary transmission and call it a beet hauler. Those trucks work damn hard for a few weeks a year.

That's right down the road from me. Did you go to the car show in Turner on Saturday?

No just a day trip on Friday. Needed to pick up two (2) golden age Kentucky rifles from a seller. Truck owner said it was used right there in Turner.

So true! I knew a guy who worked for Southern Pacific RR. When they painted their buildings they threw sand on them after that to discourage people carving things on them. Or put sand in the paint, I forget which. Didn't stop the spray paint, though.

Look at all of that shiny metal, with no rustproofing at all.
